Before setting up import or export jobs in DJUST, you must configure a Connector to securely communicate with your external systems—via FTP or REST API.

This is a requirement to configure a Job to import or export data.

✅
Exception for internal jobs
Jobs of type Indexation and Order Validation do not require a Connector, as they operate entirely within DJUST and do not communicate with external systems. The clientConfigurationId field is optional for these job types.

🌐 Connector Description

A Connector allows you to:

Set up authentication credentials (e.g., FTP login/password, API OAuth tokens)
Define technical parameters (e.g., base URL, port, headers, access token URLs)
Reuse this configuration across multiple jobs (no need to re-enter credentials for each new job)

💡
One Connector for multiple jobs
Each Connector is created once and can be linked to multiple import or export jobs, making job setup faster and more consistent.
